Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup water, 2 cinnamon sticks, and 5 whole cloves. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and steep for 10 minutes to create a spiced infusion.
  2. Step 2: Remove the spices with a slotted spoon, then add 1 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and 2 tbsp honey to the spiced water. Stir until honey dissolves completely.
  3. Step 3: Pour the entire mixture into a large heatproof pitcher and add 1 bottle (750 ml) dry red wine.
  4. Step 4: Add 1 sliced medium orange and 1 sliced medium lemon to the pitcher.
  5. Step 5: Warm the sangria gently over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, but do not boil to preserve the alcohol and flavors.
  6. Step 6: Serve warm in heatproof glasses, garnished with a cinnamon stick if desired, perfect for chilly evenings.
